We're on our way. Flights are an odd thing. Relinquishing control. Trusting that "the experts" -- pilots, attendants, baggage handlers, etc. -- will get you where you need to go. Hoping to have all your accessories handy -- id, passport, boarding pass, carry-on, etc. -- so as not to hold up the others. Mustering the patience needed when someone else slips up and delays you. So far so good.
Well, my second entry for today: We have arrived. All went well. Natalie and the kids are excited to explore. Maddie and Jonah had to drag me out to check some things out right away tonight. The river walk is humming. Of course, when beautiful night weather 400 kilometers from the equator is at 11:30 p.m. it probably is going to be when things are humming.
Tomorrow we will explore on our own a bit, then meet up with our Smithsonian Family Adventures crew Sunday morning. Stay tuned
